"The threat to the enterprise system is not merely a matter of economics. It also is a threat to individual freedom." What bullshit, in truth it's the exact opposite. A wiser man once said "Never let companies get together or they will collude against the public interest."

Chilling, but interesting to note that there was all this talk about Communists, Marxists and socialists destroying American business. Even Milton Friedman was there in 1971.....and then came Reagan.

Sinema is a nauseating symbol of this corruption. If this nonsensical thinking is not thwarted it's the end of America, we'll go down faster than Rome.

However I find it encouraging that with only 50 seats in the Senate, some small semblance of sanity is beginning to emerge there. Just think what 53 seats may achieve.....

I think winning 53 Senate seats is achievable. There seems to be more doubt about the House, which leads me to this question. The House over the last few years it's been majority Democratic has passed a tremendous amount of progressive legislation that has just been sitting there waiting to be taken on by the Senate. Even if the House becomes majority Republican & no longer passes progressive legislation, can a majority Democratic Senate choose to consider proposals previously passed by the House? Is there a time limit?

What a classic piece of rhetoric! To take things that are softly defined, and manipulate them to show a predetermined outcome - that is rhetoric. Look to the terms!
